  engine cylinder block 1933-ish
Posted by: JonE - 26-08-2017, 02:44 PM - Forum: Sales - Replies (4)

good sleeved standard block, i.e. back at 'datum' measurement 2.19". Probably wants a light hone (is that the right word?) before use. 
I can take photos of anything you want inspected.
£80
Another thing kicking around that realistically I'm never going to make into an engine so might as well help someone else do so.

  Bantam Truck
Posted by: Ian Williams - 26-08-2017, 10:38 AM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (10)

I have been asked to assist with re-commissioning a American Bantam Van, it was dismantled many, many years ago and restoration was started but never completed. I have been tasked with reassembling the vehicle and am seeking information and contacts who may be able to assist. I will post pictures in due course but as far as I can tell at this early stage the attached depict a similar van.

  37 Austin Seven "Ruby" for restoration
Posted by: Mr D - 25-08-2017, 04:18 PM - Forum: Sales - Replies (2)

I have an 1937 Austin "Ruby" Seven for sale and for complete restoration having been recently removed from a dry garage along with some other vehicles, where it has been sat for many years.
This is a matching numbers car and I have V5 along with the old buff document therefore it still bares its original registration number.
I have been on the DVLA website and the car comes up and checks out.
The engine is out of the car and turns, the valves open and shut and the bores are clean with no sign of scoring. Although the head and sump are off, everything appears to be there to rebuild it including new gaskets and other small parts.
The car is located in Torquay, Devon.

  Austin dealers in Cornwall
Posted by: Peter Naulls - 23-08-2017, 10:19 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (12)

Does anyone know who the Austin dealers were in Cornwall (DAF registration) in 1937? I'm guessing there is no chance of attributing a registration to a particular dealer?

My parents used to holiday with our Ruby in Cornwall in the 1950s and lived in hope of meeting the original owner.

  LWB Hardy Spicer propshaft length
Posted by: Stuart Giles - 23-08-2017, 09:10 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (4)

I need to get a propshaft made for a LWB Seven which has the usual four speed box etc. setup and a Hardy Spicer style prop. My problem is that the car isn't here right now, so I can't be sure of the overall length said prop needs to be;  I do have a couple of props here, but am sure they've been modded in the past.

It would be great if anyone who has a rolling chassis, or LWB car under construction could let me know what the distance is between the gearbox flange and rear axle flange.

  austin ruby brake light switch
Posted by: Paul t - 23-08-2017, 08:48 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (5)

Could somebody advise as to how the switch is connected to the pedal. Currently a piece of plastic coated wire is twisted around the pedal & crudely pushed through the switch.
Thank you.
